Talk:Hair conditioner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could anyone shed some light on the active ingredients in commercial hair conditioner and how they are synthesised?

As I've understood, in addition to perfume and a foaming agent the corporations are adding a lot of inert substances (what is a bunch of vitamins gonna do to DEAD TISSUE anyway?) as well as a bundle of plants, fruits, herbs (apparently organic acids do have some effect, though, citric and ethanoic acid being mentioned in the article) in order to make the product interesting to the consumer. (Hehe, why don't they put all consumer products in generic lab flasks and label them scientifically, no-nonsense?) 84.48.150.211 20:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Waxy/Oily

Is there anything about people feeling like conditioners weigh their hair down too much? Some people don't like how conditioners make their hair feel waxy or oily. 71.250.9.119 15:25, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sample Conditioners

Is this true? Is this really the sort of thing that should be on here? Should the name be changed to "Natural Conditioner"? --Funkmaster 801 10:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be entirely removed. This an encyclopedia, not a beauty manual.CerealBabyMilk 02:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Specifics on the Ingredients Section

Ditto on the active ingredients - Great start, could someone get more specific about the active ingredients? Say instead of "moisturizers", be specific as to what is actually used as a moisturizer For kicks...I'm gonna try some straight olive oil & see how it compares to other conditioners. I've used many conditioners from cheap to expensive, & since I flat iron, I can actually get a pretty good feel for their effect. Will post back (on the talk page)
